1. I love God with all of my heart, my mind, and my soul! My relationship with the Lord encompasses every aspect of my life. I strive hard every day to evolve as a person and to grow as Wife and a Mother. On those days when I fall short, I ask for His mercy and grace!

2. I home school my two children and find it to be one of the most rewarding experiences ever! Home school was actually intended to be temporary for just one semester, but 3 years later, this ‘temporary’ situation has turned into a long term reality! My investment of time has yielded many great returns in both of my children!

3. My pageant platform and life’s passion is children and working with the CASA and GAL programs (Court Appointed Special Advocates and Guardian Ad Litem). I have been advocating for children in the foster care system for 7 years--BEing their voice! As a former therapeutic foster parent, I saw firsthand what needs these children have and have made it one of my life’s missions to make a difference in their lives and BE the change!

4. Growing up in a large family was certainly not foreign to me, with 12 siblings! My mother was an only child and decided that she wanted to have a large family – did she ever! Being the youngest of 13 has its positive and negative attributes, but all in all, I wouldn’t change one single thing! I won’t be carrying on that family tradition though; as much as I love children, two are enough for me!
